May Surgery Buddies

[Lee anne 38]

Hi everyone

I am having surgery May 13. A revision sleeve. I had surgery 2016 lost 60lbs. Gain 25 back. I live in AZ and went to Mexicali MX . I checked out the hospital and had a barium swallow. The technique that was the first time did not take out the hunger hormones. He told me it was not my fault. There are two pockets that need to be trimed to correct the sleeve. I did not have to do a lot of prior testing. Xray, ekg, blood work, urine test. My insurance does not cover weight loss surgery. This surgery is higher than some places in MX but it's a nice hospital with a blood bank, ER, ICU ect. 6500.00. Anyone interested forming a Facebook group of our own set to private

Hi Lee Anne, I’d be interested in joining a group, my surgery is on the 12th and I’m in Arizona also. My insurance is covering mine so I’ll be having it in AZ.

I was 5/6 too. My incision where the drain was hurts the worst. Nausea is tolerable. Walking helps feel less stiff and full of gas. Passing gas and burping are highly encouraged to work all that air out. My program has us doing 30z clear Fluid until tomorrow. Tomorrow has to be 50-64 clears and we are allowed 1 Greek yogurt.
